1/13/2026 - Williamsburg

Today we will be following the B-Day schedule. That means you’ll be attending periods 2, 4, 5, and 6 — so be sure to double-check that you’ve got the correct books and binders for class. Again, this is a B-Day. See your TA teacher with any questions.

Calling all actors, singers, dancers, and crew! We’ve got a special guest in the WOLF-TV studio today, with a special message for YOU!! Everybody say “hello” to Mr. Randle!!
.

.
RANDLE: Good morning, Wolf Pack! I’m Mr. Randle, the WMS Theater Arts teacher. And today, I am very excited to announce the next big production here at Williamsburg.
.
Drum roll please!! The 2026 Spring Musical is: “MATILDA!!!”
.
Many of you already know and love this story. But for those of you who don’t – get pumped!. “Matilda” has rich music, energetic choreography, and a great story.
.
Auditions will be held NEXT WEEK after school for all performers – TUESDAY the 20th, and WEDNESDAY the 21st. Please register for the auditions by scanning the QR code on the Theater Call Board and completing the Google Form.
.
Performers should prepare TWO things: 30-seconds of a song, and 30-seconds of a monologue. The song can be whatever you sing best, even Happy Birthday.
.
Callbacks will be held on THURSDAY the 22nd. More details to follow.
.
And we also need a BACK STAGE crew – lighting, sound, sets, props, costumes, and art design. Just complete the QR code to sign-up — no audition necessary!
.
Please see me with any other questions, or refer to the details posted on the QR link. Thank you, Williamsburg! And I look forward to seeing you at the theatre.

Thanks, Mr. Randle! Matilda — the Spring Musical — sound great! And now, back to the news!
.
You could be a poet, and you don’t even know it! The WMS Poetry Club is meeting TODAY during ASP 1 in room 209. If you like to write poetry, read poetry, draw pictures inspired by poetry, or anything else, please come and check it out. See Ms. Dizayee with any questions.
.
Calling all MUNNERS!! The WMS Model UN Club is meeting TODAY in room C105 during ASP I. Participants will discuss last week’s conference, and continue their research and presentations on U.S. interventions in Latin America. See Mr. McDermott with any questions.
.
Did you miss Picture Day last fall, or did your picture not turn out so well? Then you’re in luck — because “Picture Make-Up Day” is scheduled for this WEDNESDAY in the Auxiliary Gym. If you never got a picture this year, then you can just go on down. But if it’s a retake, you must bring your unwanted picture packet with you to exchange. See Dr. Koval with any questions. And say cheese!
.
And now for a special announcement from Family and Consumer Science. This is Luna, just one of the many sweet puppies and dogs from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington. You can help Luna and her canine friends by donating old T-shirts which will be recycled into dog toys. Just bring your donation to the FACS room — room 128 — and Ms. McFerran will give you a Wolf Paw for your support. Thanks for your help, Wolves!!
.
Who’s ready for a fantastic show?! The WMS theater department is proud to present our Winter play: The Snow Queen — based on the classic story by Hans Christian Anderson. Performances are scheduled for this THURSDAY and FRIDAY, both at 7pm in the auditorium.
.
Tickets are just 5-dollars per person, and can be purchased in advance on the WMS website using SchoolCash — or you can buy them at the door using regular cash. See Mr. Randle with any questions, and we hope you enjoy the show!
